Marine Microalgae for Aquaculture
In contrast to traditional practice, we produce only whole-cell, whole food microalgae feeds and enrichment products from marine algae using proprietary processes. Maximum rotifer nutrition is achieved from intact whole microalgae cells which provide maximum nourishment to your fish.
Reed Mariculture’s inland aquaculture RAS farm produces microalgae and zooplankton for healthy, high-quality and economical production at your fish, bivalve & shrimp hatcheries.
- Phototrophically grown
- Highly-concentrated
- Whole-cell algae (non-viable but intact)
- Full nutritional value with no need to hydrate
- Biosecure, pathogen-free and clean
- Easy to use
- Always available
- The algae you want for hatchery success!
Instant Algae® products are used in hatcheries in 90 countries around the world for fish, shrimp, and shellfish larviculture, as well as public aquariums and hobbyist reef tanks.

ISOCHRYSIS 1800
A refrigerated, whole-cell concentrate of Isochrysis micoralgae that will enrich rotifers and maintain the DHA/EPA ratio of your rotifers in larval tanks. High in carotenoids and phospholipids. Strain: Tisochrysis lutea, CCMP13
NANNO 3600
This concentrated, frozen, biosecure microalgae is our original high-yield, rotifer grow-out feed. The single species Nannochloropsis produces healthy phospholipid-rich rotifer cultures. (Strain: CCMP525)
PAVLOVA 1800
Pavlova is a small golden/brown flagellate that is very similar to Isochrysis. It has a VERY high DHA profile and is excellent for enriching rotifers and other zooplankton. It is difficult to grow and not widely produced. Strain: CCMP459
TETRASELMIS 3600
A large green flagellate with a very high lipid level. It also contains natural amino acids that stimulate feeding in marine animals. It is an excellent feed for larval shrimp. The shelf Life is 2 years frozen and 3 weeks once thawed. Strain: PLY 429
TP 1800
A small diatom (4.5-8 µm x 6-10 µm) used in the shrimp and bivalve larviculture industry. It has been found to be excellent for larval shrimp. Unlike many diatoms, the omega-3 fatty acid profile of TP provides, in addition to ample EPA (20.5% of fatty acids), significant DHA (6.3% of fatty acids).
